gcc 3.4.3 fails to compile when it runs a configure script about half way through the build, "configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs." The failed configure script resides in /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.3-r1/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gcc Actual Results: Configure error.

I've got exactly the same problem: checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1
post the whole config.log from the libstdc++ directory please
Created attachment 46600 [details] config.log for libstdc++. As requested.
Try looking at bug #75236. It seems to be the same problem and it suggests a solution, worked for me.
Actually this seems to be a problem with the sandbox and gcc. Check out bug #72379 for more info.
This issue did, in fact, get resolved by disabling sandboxing. This bug should not be closed until sandboxing is properly handled on amd64 then. Perhaps it should be marked a duplicate though. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72379 ***
